Widespread integration of the Internet has resulted in an increase in the feasibility of using Web-based technologies as a means of communicating with patients. It may be possible to develop secure and standardized systems that facilitate Internet-based patient-reported outcomes which could be used to improve patient care.

To report procedure process improvements and confirm preserved safety and short-term effectiveness of a second-generation Aquablation device for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in 47 consecutive patients at a single institution.

The aim of this study is to evaluate cardiotoxicity of abiraterone acetate (AA) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients (pts) with cardiovascular comorbidities or coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors.

To evaluate long-term health-related quality of life (HRQOL) impact of I-125 permanent seed implantation (PI) in Japanese patients with localized prostate cancer.

This is a longitudinal, prospective study of 2353 patients who enrolled in the nationwide Japanese-Prostate Cancer Outcome Study by Permanent I-125 Seed Implantation (J-POPS) from July 2005 to June 2007.

Little is known about how pre-diagnostic metabolites in blood relate to risk of prostate cancer. We aimed to investigate the prospective association between plasma metabolite concentrations and risk of prostate cancer overall, and by time to diagnosis and tumour characteristics, and risk of death from prostate cancer.

Progression of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is life-threatening and cannot be accurately predicted using clinical and pathological risk factors.

The aims of this study were to clarify the safety and efficacy of 12-fraction carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) for primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to confirm the recommended dose in a prospective clinical trial.

Magnetic resonance imaging/transrectal ultrasound (MRI/TRUS) fusion-guided focal high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy of the prostate has recently been developed as a selective HIFU-therapy technique to enable targeted ablation of prostate cancer.

Axitinib has shown activity in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in a large phase III clinical trial and was approved in patients who failed first-line therapy. This drug has been available in France since November 2012.

The Asian Prostate Cancer (A-CaP) Study is an Asia-wide initiative that has been developed over the course of 2 years. The study was launched in December 2015 in Tokyo, Japan, and the participating countries and regions engaged in preparations for the study during the course of 2016, including patient registration and creation of databases for the purpose of the study.
